Just perfect...
it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
A very underrated movie. A powerful comment on the disgusts of the modern world: alienation, the lack of care and the ever-present porn (I'm not against all porn). Lukas Moodysson wants to show us that there is a lot of sickness in this world, and he succeeds. Yes, it's disgusting in some parts and yes, it shows vomiting and sex. I understand people who say it's too much. But: why should we live our lives without seeing disgusting things at all, ever? This film makes you think of the world, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I believe this is a must to see for everybody, especially for those who think there are no real problems in the Western world.
Well some people may like it but in my opinion one word is enough: disgusting... First of all I do not see a reason for such kind of movie. I watched it in a special film festival and there was not an empty seat available what it started. After the first hour of the film, the movie was half full. I don't go to cinema (especially in a film festival)to watch people having group sex, or vomiting each others mouth. There are special movies for people who like these kinds of stuffs, you can go to a sex shop and rent one. Or perhaps you can make your own but be sure that you are the only one to watch it. But for normal users these are far too much. I was with my girlfriend and she embarrassed very much because it was her choice to watch it. Since we had no clue about the film before we saw it, name of the film misdirected us pretty much cause we thought that it was a romantic film or an ordinary drama. You may try to give the desperation of people in your movie but there are other ways to do so I suppose. People do not need to see all the dirty fantasies or thoughts you have inside. And no one can say that "oh people do not see the art inside!!!" cause I think they are only trying to pretend like sophisticated, be the different one or feel the same dirty fantasies.To sum up, if you haven't seen this film, you are lucky. I hope I will never ever have to watch another movie from that guy...
If you loved Lilja 4Ever - there's something wrong with you. You won't love this film - that's for sure - unless there's something wrong with you. This film is nearly - but only nearly - unwatchable. And I take that as a sign of its success. Had we been in any way aroused by what we saw, had we been allowed to distance ourselves from the suffering we saw, had Moodysson failed to reveal the conflicted, ambivalent motivations underlying the actions of these characters - who say little but reveal much - the film would be another Requiem For a Dream - but it isn't. You won't watch this film twice - unless there is something wrong with you. But it's honest in the way few films dealing with the subject are. I don't think it pretends to be representative of the porn industry as a whole - but it does remind us that our consumption of porn has a price. This is not an enjoyable movie. It shouldn't be an enjoyable movie. But is it well thought out? Well executed? Well acted? Important. Yes, it is. It's been awhile since Sweden has produced a movie that has shocked complacent audiences - for the past few decades it's been churning out silly nostalgia-driven films. I loved Show Me Love - but this is a far superior film.
This was an interesting visual exercise from Moodysson. I don't know whether I have followed completely Moodysson's exposition on a set of broken lives in beautiful suburbia Scandinavian-style.It reminded me of early Dogme films, namely the breaking of all strings to do with conventional film-making... but with many shortcomings in the end! This appeared particularly true in the "acting" by those involved. Moodysson seemed to be on a mission to capture reality opting for an unscripted take on the script he had in his head. To my eyes it didn't work as it should have. I felt that a possibly interesting idea came very far from delivering an end product.As far as the story goes things are pretty simple. Abuse, abandonment, redemption, all come to mind. Despite the odd editing and Aphex-Twinsesque soundtrack, it all ends up following pretty common trails that have already been paved by modern-day's reality TV.I believe that Moodysson is a fantastic writer who was able to deliver similar directing results with F***ing Amal, Together and Lylia 4-Ever but in this particular case it didn't work. I still admire his courage and no-strings commitment to a project like this after his widely respected more conventional films of late.Watch it though. It's a good stimulus to a thought or two about how we all live today in this vast peninsula.
